Various Poems

Easter Eggs and Hidden Messages from the album

1. Happy is all about the regret and the constant haunting of my conscience, it is also realization that many are suffering and you are not doing anything and keeps on being selfish. That corruption, poverty, climate crisis and many more global issues needs to be taken care of and raise awareness about.

2. Golden Leaf is a self-explanatory poem that I didn't put so many deep meanings so that it could be easily understood that we should not surround our lives with the greed of money. It is also an aim for the corrupt politicians who keeps on stealing money from our government. I also want to figure out on your own why I used the color gold to represent corruption and greed for money. ; )

3. Scarecrow Of The Ages is about people who are manipulated by our false superiors and the vote buying incident last election that was a big controversy and shame for the province of Bohol. It is also about the former president that was always criticized for the lack of action and the countless failures the past administration. It also about the Karen's that are full of judgement and negativity, it serves as a continuation of Golden Leaf, but focuses both of the manipulators and the manipulated.

4. The Art Of The Lone Wolf is inspired by the Movie "Yes, God, Yes" which focuses in Sexual Immorality and the lustful temptations of teenagers these days. It symbolizes the inevitability of lust, and the suffering under porn addiction. It is one of my poems that raise awareness to issues that can destroy the youth's perspective in life.

5. Beware of the Cobra is a poem about the media's depiction to Taylor Swift, it is about the suffering of women not only in the music industry, but generally. It disses people who utilizes toxic male privilege to their advantage and use it to take ownership to matters that clearly they do not own. Like women, their artistry and their talent.

6. War of Masquerades is about betrayal and the feeling of being back stabbed by someone you trust and you thought that was your friend.

7. Götterdämmerung, in other words is downfall, in German it means twilight of the gods. It's actually a what-if story about It's More Fun At Home, its the scenario where the boy actually escaped instead of the woman, and how would the woman feel if she was the one to die.

8. Expecting Reality is the feeling of daydreams taking over your mind and reality keeps on making you realize that princes and carriages doesn't really exist in real life. And the creepy truth about princes and princesses, that they really aren't living a perfect life, instead they are living in a horrible and horrendous one.

9. The Reaper is about putting yourself into the Grim Reaper's shoes and living the life of unspeakable feeling of horror and disgust. It is also about that living in hell is a full on nightmare. It also discusses the stereotyping and labeling people with awful tags like being called as a slut and a bitch.

10. Lost Baby Boy is about a toxic and immature relationship between naive teenagers. They thought love is easy to be tempered with, they immature minds misinterprets innocence with naiveness. It is also a promotion for self-love, that you don't need a man to feel loved. Because self-love comes first before being in a intimate and romantic relationship.

11. Hunger is another poem about self-love. We should be able to love ourselves and accept our flaws before romanticizing about someone who doesn't really care about us. It is considered normal for teenagers to feel infatuation, but sometimes we need to set some boundaries. Because love that surrounds someone who doesn't appreciate it is unhealthy for our mental health.

12. Unfair Love is one of the earliest poems that I have ever written as far as I can remember. I wrote it at 9th grade and it is about the inequality of the LGBTQ+ Community to feel genuine and unconditional love. It is one of the most personal poems in the album and it recalls some personal experiences.

13. Thursday The 13th is about the infamous couple Bonnie and Clyde. I was both shocked and amazed by their story, I have never heard of a love story like that. Even though their criminals I was shocked that they always had someone by their side despite being in the opposite side of the law. It is the longest poem in the album, it also hinted as early as September in the poem 'comeback of the King'.

14. Die Single is the saddest poem for me in the theme of teenage love. It is one of my greatest fears to die alone without having a boyfriend, after writing this poem I realized that I don't really need one. And the poem remains as my past fear of being alone, because all of my life I was not alone.

15. The Joker represents the Past. We always say that it's all in the past or past is past, but it contradicts to the saying "History repeats itself."
It means that right when you thought that you have forgotten a horrible memory in the past, it keeps on coming back to you like forgetting it is like all a big joke, they are menacing and will continue to haunt you forever.

16. Last Day on Earth is the alternate ending for Die Single. She made a deal to live again to have a boyfriend, but still she feel sad and realized that having a boyfriend doesn't really make her life complete. So she committed suicide despite having someone who really loves her, the whole poem is told by the Boyfriend's perspective. I never mentioned their names in the poems but I have always thought of their names as Laura (the girl) and Pietro (the boyfriend).

17. Dapat Ka Bang Mahalin? is actually a school project. But then I realized it fits the theme of loving someone despite of the dangers that it may cost us. One of the theme that I've been trying to show in the album, the dangers of love and the villainy of a mishandled one.

18. Villainy is pretty much a kaleidoscope of emotions for me, its confusing, its heartfelt and crestfallen. I really want to end the album in a confusing note, to trigger the curiosity deep inside our minds. Life isn't about explaining, its about understanding.
